Amitabh Bachchan to go toe to toe with real football players

Amitabh Bachchan has always been known to get into the nitty-gritty of his character. For his next ‘Jhund’, where he will be playing football coach Vijay Barse, Bachchan will be playing the field with real football players.

Bollywood Hungama reports a source saying, “A lot of the football that Mr. Bachchan will be seen playing in Jhund will be with boys and men who are pros of the game. To look convincing with them on the field, Mr. Bachchan will sharpen his football skills, and learn some really mean moves on the field.”

The director of the film Nagaraj Manjule said, “We start shooting for the film from November. All I can say at the moment is that nothing in the film will be haphazard or casual. We will treat the theme and characters with the respect they deserve.”

Bachchan was last seen in ‘Shamitabh’ (2015).
